How does spiritual healing take place according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Spiritual healing occurs through the work of the Holy Spirit, who regenerates the heart and gives believers the ability to perceive God's truth (John 9).

Biblical spiritual healing is fundamentally an act of God, facilitated by the Holy Spirit, who regenerates the heart and enables individuals to respond to the gospel. In John 9, we see a vivid illustration of this—Jesus healing the blind man symbolizes the regeneration that must happen for one to see and accept the truth of Christ. The miracle involved physical means, but it ultimately highlighted the necessity of spiritual intervention. As the man obediently went to wash in the pool of Siloam, so too, believers must respond to the gospel through faith and obedience, relying on the Holy Spirit's power to cleanse and renew their minds. This transformation is not through human effort; rather, it is a divine act of grace that allows individuals, once blind, to see and acknowledge their need for Christ.
